Superfood Soups: 100 Delicious, Energizing & Plant-based Recipes: Volume 5 (Julie Morris's Superfoods)

This book is a fascinating read let alone the wonderful recipes. So well laid out an intelligent read which lives on my coffee table now full of inspirational ideas. I have a few good books on Soups as a meal and this is definitely the best yet to enter into my kitchen.

Really good selection of soups etc and properly healthy - liked it a lot!

Love the recipes and the description of the ingredients! I would have rated it a five if a picture of each recipe was provided.

Just the ticket for me as I needed nutritious soup after lots of dental work

Excellent book - start 'souping'

I thought it was a bit long drawn out. I just wanted recipes to cook soup.

This gives prices and measurements in dollars and American measurements such as a quart.Lovely glossy pictures of vegetables and similar, spread throughout the book yet most recipes have no pictures to show what the finished meal will look like. Ridiculous. Normally you publish a book with photos of finished meal to save money so why haven't pictures of the meals been included yet other irrelevant pictures have been?This is for someone who has patience in reading how to add 30 different ingredients together. You must also have a large stock of unusual healthfood store ingredients in your cupboard.So disappointing.

I bought the whole Superfoods Series by Julie Morris and my life has changed for the better.Quality over quantity.As an overeater this is nothing short of an epiphany for me. When you eat like this, you don't ever need to gorge yourself, your hunger satisfied, your taste buds are satisfied, everything just clicked into place for me. My hunger pangs are gone, my body purrs, my mind is clear.The food is delicious, the recipes are simple and the ingredients, for me anyways, are easy to find. I treat the superfoods like a precious collection now. Got some mason jars and every week I buy another superfood and experiment with it. I have a shelf with beautiful labelled jars of premium food and never feel like ordering in anymore.This book series really caused a revolution in my kitchen and in my life and I am so grateful, SO GRATEFUL, that I found it.

I grew up in the UK and in the winter my mum would make big pots full of soup so we had a warm and delicious meal when we got home. It was something I loved then and still do now, even though I live in a rather warm spot, and cold winter days are few and far between -I still crave a nice bowl of soup when the hint of fall arrives. However, though I am able to replicate some of those soups -lentil and peas examples, the rest were traditional meat based soups like Oxtail and Cawl (a Welsh soup made with brisket) and as a vegetarian I need more ideas which was why I decided to buy this book.This book has 100 recipes which is a good start, and every single one of them, a healthy plant based soup. The book begins with a brief look overall at the topic of soup, some principles of creating a super food soup and basics – good fats, seasonings, aromatics, beans, soup composition, and some super food essentials . On the latter it is worth knowing that this is a book that will require you pick up some items at a specialist shop -think medicinal mushrooms, super berries, sea vegetables , seeds , grains -I am sure you can substitute (and there is a cheat sheet at the back) but note recipes feature maca, spirulina powder, dulse, wheatgrass powder. This was the one thing I did not love, for though I have many of these, if you do not, you will spend a pretty penny acquiring them and having been there with other books, it’s a pain!Then there are useful tips such as cheat sheets on cooking with super foods, cost breakdown, pantry ideas, health benefits, before delving into soups lead by broths – including those for energy, detox, beauty and healing which in a concept I love about this book.Then we go to chilled soups, which loving in a hot area I loved, and this goes so much more beyond just a traditional gazpacho - I loved the carrot, ginger and cannot wait to try the coconut turmeric. Then we have creamy soups, such as a corn soup or greens soup and a new take on a potato leek soup. Many of these I should note are accompanied by stunning pictures such as the truffled asparagus soup. This is followed by ‘brothy and noodle soups’ with a take on tortilla soup using chia seeds or a miso noodle soup, there is ramen, Pad Thai and some very creative , way out ideas such as green tea soup!We then go to chowders and porridges,, the kitchari is my absolute favorite as I love this dish and this recipe is simpler than most; then stews and chili, followed by accouterments - garnishes, horseradish cream , pesto or even coconut bacon bits. Followed by a useful guide on sourcing some of these ingredients!This is a great, creative cookbook, full of super food soups that will keep me warm, happy and healthy all winter!

My client recommended that I try this book. She had a fresh pot of fennel bisque, one of the many delish recipes in this amazing cookbook, on the stove and ready to eat. One bite and I ordered my own copy there on the spot!!! The flavors were mind-blowing (and, I latwr learned that the fennel bisque is a detox soup).This cookbook is amazing -- Seasonal, hot, cold, hearty, sweet, healing recipes. Something for every occassion and taste. Lots of ingredients I had never heard of and was shockes to read their health benfits during Google searches.I use veggies and herbs from the farmers market as much as possible for even more nutrients. I use Amazon to procure the ingredients that are not on store shelves.My first soup was the beet soup. I honestly felt no pain in my body the next day!!!What I love about this book is that there are two indexes -- one normal and one that lists the soups based on their benefits, such as detox, immunity, heart health and beauty (skin clearing) properties.I love this cookbook so much that have purchased extra copies to give as gifts to other health-minded clients.One more thing, I am very busy so I crockpot the soups. They turn out fabulously, eliminating that "the 2nd day tastes better" rule.Lastly, the soups are enough to freeze for later or share with your friends and loved ones.Bon Appétit!

Amazing! I am determined to try every recipe. The broth recipes are easy to follow and delicious.
